Hi all... perhaps someone has come across this before.
Mine is a 2010 Q5 2.0T quattro and I drive it around in Qatar. Current kms amount to 57000 kms.

Anyway here goes.

Since tonight I've realised that the LHS (driver's side) headlamp comes on normally when I turn the engine on, after a few mins of driving it goes out and the warning message comes on the dash. I park and switch off the engine, switch back on again and voila! Headlamp is back on again... but again, I drive a bit more and out it goes.

Can't think it's the actual bulb that's blown because otherwise it would not be an intermittent fault (or can it be?)

Would like someone's take on this before I go out to see Q-Auto and possibly spend a whopper (car is still under warranty I must say)... but their workshop is still located on the dark side of the moon (those who live in Doha know precisely how Street 41 in the so called Industrial Area looks like).

With many thanks from warm and sunny Doha.
Jon
